#37 of 3943 I'll bet by jchan2 Jan 11, 2004 (5:14 pm)
the four cylinder will be out in a few years. and three rows of seats is certainly a plus.

scwt47-   Dude- you need to check some facts and read other posts on this board.   Check out the basics: http://www.toyota.com/about/news/product/2004/01/04-3-hibridhighl- ander.html   and read #18 and go to that site and look at the pics... 3rd row seat.

#40 of 3943 Highlander or Lexus?!? by markrogo Jan 13, 2004 (7:27 pm)
I was all set to get the RX 400. Even for the outrageous price I expected to pay.   Now I'm thinking, "Hmmm.... With most of the same options, a fully-decked out Highlander would be, wht $5K less? $8K less?.... And doesn't the cargo area of the HL hold much more stuff anyway.... Then there is the much cheaper service at Toyota dealers vs. Lexus dealers...."   What do you all think?   And how can I get a pre-order in super early? My Infiniti lease ends in January....
#41 of 3943 Price delta between RX and Toyota HL by wco81 Jan 14, 2004 (10:39 am)
Is it really only $5-8k?
#42 of 3943 Price difference by 2003tls Jan 14, 2004 (12:02 pm)
The current price difference between the gas powered Highlander Limited and RX330 is about $5K so I would expect the Hybrid versions to maintain the same spread.
#43 of 3943 What exactly is in the HL Limited? by wco81 Jan 14, 2004 (1:51 pm)
Is it just a fancy options package, like Nav systems, fancy stereos and interior decorations and the like?
#44 of 3943 To hell with GM! by anythngbutgm Jan 15, 2004 (12:51 pm)
From Bob Lutz: "Hybrids are an interesting curiosity and we will do some," he said. "But do they make sense at $1.50 a gallon?"   Uh, bob? Knock,Knock... Who cares if gasoline is 50 cents a gallon, it's a diminishing resource. Some people believe in "every little bit counts", and for Toyota, it's only the beginning. I'm not a environmentalist freak, but I do care about preserving our resources and not relying on foriegn sources. Here we have Hybrid technology at around $20,000 available for the masses. "Masses" Bob, people not able or willing to fork over 50 grand on a dog turd like an Escalade or a Suburban.   "For Toyota, it was a huge, huge, immeasurably valuable PR coup," said Lutz. GM's decision not to pursue a hybrid car "was a mistake from one aspect, and that's public relations and catering to the environmental movement."   PR coup?!?!? once again, GM got caught with their pants to the floor, Toyota is going to gain even more market share, and in five years your going to realize there's more to it than PR. moron.
#45 of 3943 HL Limited by 2003tls Jan 16, 2004 (3:32 pm)
The Highlander Limited is the top of the line version of the Highlander. Most of the optional stuff is standard, plus they throw in a power passenger seat, 17" wheels, etc. A fully loaded Highlander Limited has a MSRP of over $35,000, so it definitely gets close to the base Lexus RX330's sticker price.
#46 of 3943 HL Limited vs. RX by wco81 Jan 16, 2004 (4:06 pm)
Hmm, so you have to get a Limited to get power seats or is it only the passenger seat that are in the Limited?   The standard wheels are 16"? Isn't that small for an SUV? RX has option for 18" wheels.   Wonder if they'll put 16" wheels on the hybrid. Some complaints on the Prius board about the size of the Prius wheels/tires.
